Treatment Type:
ERBIUM LASER
Overview
Erbium laser treatments are usually brought up when someone’s looking to smooth out skin texture or reduce the look of fine lines. Unlike gentler lasers used just for tone or pigmentation, this one is more focused on resurfacing — meaning it removes very thin layers of skin with precision. People often hear about it as a way to improve acne scars, large pores, or general roughness. While it’s more intense than something like laser toning, it’s still considered gentler than older CO2 lasers.
Common Reasons People Choose It
Often mentioned for smoothing uneven texture or acne scarring
Considered a middle ground between mild lasers and deep resurfacing
Sometimes chosen for early signs of aging or dull skin
Treatment Experience
After numbing cream is applied, the laser is used to carefully go over the skin in a grid-like pattern. There’s usually a warm, prickly sensation, and skin can look red or slightly raw afterward. It’s not uncommon for there to be mild peeling or flaking in the days following. The downtime varies based on how aggressive the settings are — some people bounce back in a couple of days, others take a bit longer.
